One of the partition is showing as CD-ROM and is only readable. Another partition is like usual usb drive and is read\/writable (also can be formatted).<\/p>\n<p>Now, I want to format and combine both the drive into one but the first drive is showing as CD ROM and can&#8217;t be formatted.<\/p>\n<p>Here is what I have already tried:<\/p>\n<p>1. Tried to format using Disk management tool (Windows 10). But as the first partition is detected as CD-ROM, it&#8217;s impossible to format.<\/p>\n<p>2. Tried Diskpart in command prompt. But only the second partition is visible there so the first partition remains untouched.<\/p>\n<p>3. Tried Easus Partition Master, but didn&#8217;t get ayy way out (as the partition showing as CD-ROM is not visible there too).<\/p>\n<p>4. Also tried in Linux system, but no result.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for help in advance!<\/p>\n<p>Regards!<\/p>\n<p>Jhambu<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"iawp_total_views":40},"question-category":[47],"question_tags":[],"class_list":["post-6570","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry","question-category-hardware"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question\/6570","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/question"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6570"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6570"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"question-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question-category?post=6570"},{"taxonomy":"question_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question_tags?post=6570"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
